correctionist (plural correctionists)

  1. One who corrects something.
    • 1941, Charlotte G. Wells, The Correction of Foreign Accent, page 34:
      The correction of barbaralalia (foreign accent) is in the strictest sense speech re-education, since the speech correctionist is aiding the foreign speaker to change one set of speech habits for another.
